Brody Malone wins U.S. Classic

I’m super to see Donnell back to AA form. #persistence

At first I was super excited by the scores. But USA is using a BONUS system. @Magnastics tells that Brody’s FIG score would have been about 86.

Gymnastics in Tromsø, Norway

On holidays, I happened to cycle past the Artistic Gym in the tourist town of Tromsø.

And popped in to check the facility. It’s impressive for a city population 80,000.

The new Tromsø facility was only opened 2018. But coaches told me many new facilities have been built throughout the nation.

Tromsø is fully equipped for WAG, MAG and Rhythmic. They also offer Team Gym training.

Training was limited during the pandemic — but not as much as in many other places in the world. Everything is back to normal now.
